You can customize the visibility of certain content on your website depending on the user’s language settings. This is useful when you want to display different elements based on the language the user’s browser is set to.
Here’s how you can achieve this using CSS:
Example
Let’s say you have a chat widget or any other element you want to hide or display based on the user’s language. The lang attribute in the <html> tag determines the user’s language settings, and we can use that to apply conditional CSS rules.
/* Hide the chat widget for specific languages */
html[lang="en-US"] .ht-ctc-chat, /* English (US) */
html[lang="es-ES"] .ht-ctc-chat, /* Spanish (Spain) */
html[lang="sv-SE"] .ht-ctc-chat, /* Swedish (Sweden) */
html[lang="pl-PL"] .ht-ctc-chat { /* Polish (Poland) */
display: none !important;
}
In this example:
- The chat widget (
.ht-ctc-chat) will be hidden when the user’s browser language is set to English (US), Spanish (Spain), Swedish (Sweden), or Polish (Poland). - You can change the
langattribute values to target other languages as well.
How to Customize for Different Languages
If you want to show or hide other elements for different languages, just update the html[lang="..."] value with the appropriate language code and target the desired element.
For instance, to show a custom message only for French-speaking users, you could use:
/* Show the French message only for users with a French language setting */
html[lang="fr-FR"] .french-message {
display: block;
}
In this case, the .french-message element will only be displayed if the user’s browser language is set to French (France).
Handling Large Content for Multiple Languages
If you have a lot of content that varies based on language, consider creating separate posts or pages for each language version. You can link to those posts dynamically by using custom CSS.
For example, you can create a button or link for each language:
html[lang="en-US"] .language-link-en {
display: block;
}
html[lang="es-ES"] .language-link-es {
display: block;
}
This approach makes your content more organized and easier to manage, while offering a better user experience.

Display Content Based on Language
It’s possible to control the visibility of certain elements based on the user’s language settings. This is helpful when you need to show or hide elements depending on the language set in the user’s browser.
Example
The following CSS example demonstrates how to hide the chat widget for users with specific language settings.
/* Hide the chat widget for specific languages */
html[lang="en-US"] .ht-ctc-chat, /* English (US) */
html[lang="es-ES"] .ht-ctc-chat, /* Spanish (Spain) */
html[lang="sv-SE"] .ht-ctc-chat, /* Swedish (Sweden) */
html[lang="pl-PL"] .ht-ctc-chat { /* Polish (Poland) */
display: none !important;
}
Here’s what the code does:
- The
.ht-ctc-chatelement is hidden when the browser’s language is set to English (US), Spanish (Spain), Swedish (Sweden), or Polish (Poland). - To apply this to other languages, just change the
langattribute value (e.g.,lang="fr-FR"for French).
Customization for Other Languages
To display or hide other elements based on different languages, adjust the lang attribute and the targeted element. For example, if you want to display a custom message for users with French language settings:
/* Show the French message only for users with a French language setting */
html[lang="fr-FR"] .french-message {
display: block;
}
This ensures that .french-message will only be visible when the browser language is set to French (France).
Handling Larger Content
If content varies significantly between languages, consider creating separate posts or pages for each version and linking to them dynamically. This can help keep things organized.
For example:
html[lang="en-US"] .language-link-en {
display: block;
}
html[lang="es-ES"] .language-link-es {
display: block;
}
By using this method, you can manage language-specific content efficiently.
